N.B. news: Mom seeks changes in age mandate [Video]

Kendric Campbell is your typical horror movie-, video-game- and basketball-obsessed teenager.

“He studies so hard in school, he wants to be like everyone else, and go to university and he wants to become a psychologist, but his teachers, coaches, always say how strong and determined he is,” said his mother Erica Campbell. “Those are the words I hear the most, and brave, of course.”

At just 16 years old, Kendric has had his share of obstacles, including a brain cancer diagnosis at three years old.

Although from Moncton, for more than a decade now, Kendric has been treated at the IWK in Halifax.

“He received brain surgery, it was a 10-hour surgery, and then radiation treatment and about a year-and-a-half of chemo,” said Campbell. “Since then we’ve been followed by most departments at the IWK — cardiology, endocrinology, neurology, oncology, all the ology’s really. Every couple of months I’d say we go there.”
